Using Controls in SharePoint Application Pages

[David]

Hi,

I might be missing a trick here but I simply want to get a reference to a RadComboBox which is sitting on a SharePoint application page.

If my RadComboBox has an ID of lstCountry then I can select it (?) using;

var brandDropDown = $("select[id$='lstCountry']");

However none of the methods I'd expect to see are present, so the following attempt at adding items doesn't work (method not supported)

   var comboItem = new Telerik.Web.UI.RadComboBoxItem();
   comboItem.set_text(unit.Brand.Name);
   brandDropDown.Items.Add(comboItem); OR
   brandDropDown.get_items().add(comboItem)

I'm pretty sure the JQuery selector is not getting the correct object from the DOM - can anyone help me out please ?

Thanks,

MDM

Hi David,

In general you should be able to obtain RadComboBox client-side instance in this way:

var combo = $find("<%= lstCountry.ClientID %>");

If the issue persists – could you please explain your scenario in more details and paste here some working code?

All the best,
